Duke looked nothing like the best team in the country on Wednesday night, and Miami (Fla.) put on an onslaught to knock off the No. 1 Blue Devils 90-63, causing fans to storm the court on Duke for the second time this season.

It was the third-worst loss for a No. 1 team and Duke's worst in nearly five years.

The Hurricanes (14-3) improved to 5-0 in the ACC and beat a No. 1 team for the first time in program history.

"We played a complete game, we did everything we planned on doing, and did it to the highest level," Miami coach Jim Larranaga said after the game on ESPN. "(Duke) didn't play well. The result is the score. This is one of many games we have to play well in."

"I think our guys were very ready," added Larranaga, who came to Miami last season after a coaching tenure at giant-killer George Mason, which included a Cinderella trip to the Final Four in 2006.

"Some teams come out in the second half flat and think they have the game won," Larkin said. "But we stayed with it with the same energy in the second half. We played great the whole game."

Duke had its coldest shooting performance of the season with a season-low 30 % from the field, going more than 8 minutes without a field goal. Miami took full advantage with a 25-1 run midway through the first half.

The Blue Devils, playing without injured starter Ryan Kelly, missed 13 consecutive shots despite numerous good looks, while four Hurricanes hit three-pointers during the stunning run that transformed a 14-13 deficit into a 38-15 lead.

"Warm up the bus, this game is over," ESPN analyst Dick Vitale said before the final horn even sounded. "They have no one to blame but themselves."

Duke's backcourt was nonexistent offensively. Seth Curry went scoreless and finished 0-for-10 from the field, while Quinn Cook was 1-for-12 to finish with five points.

"It wasn't demoralizing; they played better," Blue Devils guard Rasheed Sulaimon said. "I believe we have them on the schedule again."

For the fourth time this year, the No. 1 team has fallen. And this is the Blue Devils second time crumbling. Duke, which moved to No. 1 this week after falling back to No. 3 following a court-storming loss to N.C. State, will surely fall in the national polls, thus paving the way for another new top team. No. 2 Kansas is the top candidate, while No. 3 Michigan and No. 4 Syracuse are also in position.

Miami senior center Reggie Johnson came off the bench in his first action since being sidelined with a broken left thumb Dec. 18. He had two points and five rebounds in 16 minutes.

"Overrated," a sellout crowd chanted with three minutes left. When the game ended, fans poured onto the court and mobbed their team.
